Thinking about your problem I can't see why you should have a issue.
The only time there could be a problem is if two clients connected at the same time through StreamTv or there is no tuner cards left to use (cases I need to test). I expect that two clients connecting at the same time might work as long as there are tuner cards avaliable and if not i'd expect you get a HTTP 500 Internal Error reply.
To get a url back means the timeshifting has started fine and vlc should of started up and reported its running properly.
Can you check if when you start timeshifting through StreamTv that there is a client connected to the TvServer. If you goto the streaming server option there should be a client connected. Beyond that the only other thoughts I have are is VLC 0.9.x (I expect it is considering it seems to of started ok) and if you could try on the computer running the tvserver, see if it will work locally.

I'm about to put up a new build where i've added a little more error checking, I think the point where you should be getting a error is been skipped. Now you should get a error instead of the redirect URL if i'm right about the problem.
One more question, what have you got the recording format set to? I've never got mpeg to work on my setup and since VLC isn't set to transcode and is expecting a .ts (Transport Stream) for the output that might be causing the problem, I'll try and test mpeg on my setup again and see if that causes a problem.
Also this update for those who don't like all the "disabled!" messages on each channel this update will now show the title of the show currently playing. I was going to do more changes before I released it but if the modifications i've done show what the problem is for Phunky then it was worth it.
* Well mpeg works fine as far as I can tell, try the update and make sure vlc is up to date.

Thanks for the quick update 
but it does not seem to have fixed anything, it does trigger the TV server to change channel but never shows a client connected
This is the error log from VLC running on the TV server itself
This is the TV Server log, its now crashing when i attempt to stream.
I've found one good thing with all this though! The active channel stream is shown in the Streaming_server.log and i was able to get that to stream via rtsp://10.0.0.9/stream1.0 of course this is no good for a multi seat setup but it did stream fine and change channel with the manual control in TVServer.
Would you like me to try it with one of the cards disabled? I've been trying it this morning with no other clients connected - just TVServer running and my mac trying to connect to it - i could disable on of the DVB-C cards and see if that helps.
Just disabled one of the cards and attempted to stream again no luck sadly it still crashes TVServer below is the error.log

Looking at those logs it would seem there is a problem with your copy of VLC. It looks to find the DLL fine but some of the commands it calls aren't working.
Try downloading VLC again then re-install. Beyond that those logs seem alright.
if you look in the tvserver log at the end you will see
See how it says there is a System.EntryPointNotFoundException it shouldn't do that.

VLC is required on the server, for the moment I use it to go from RTSP to HTTP but my main reason for using VLC is transcoding support which I haven't worked out yet.
The client doesn't need VLC but that is a easy way to test if it is working. Any client that can play a http video stream will work.

If i change the Stream to use RTSP instead of HTTP would that avoid the need of VLC?
Just popped home on my lunch break to have a quick dabble and seems it still not playing
Thats my error.log from TVServer, it kills my TVService as soon as i attempt to stream

Finally was able to re-produce the error you got (had to download the older version of vlc). You have an old version of VLC installed. Update to a 0.9.x build.
Goto: VideoLAN - Download from mirror that is the latest stable version at the moment. Install it and try again.
Also I might add a option to allow for the rtsp url instead of http if people want that (might make radio quicker to implement, haven't looked into how radio works yet).
